We were very satisfied with the trip, we were looking for a lot of R&R and it was exactly what we got, coffee in the mornings along the water and evenings with a campfire with a full moon. The location and the house was perfect for what we wanted to do

Beautiful house - everything you could possibly need was in the kitchen. Beds were comfy and plenty of towels and wash cloths provided. Fireplace provided a lot of warmth and there were space heaters if needed. View of the lake was gorgeous.

Hidden back in the trees, but with a nice fire pit and opens to a lovely view on Lake Michigan. Had everything we could possibly need and then some for a perfect 5-night stay. Cozy decorations. We felt right at home!

Fantastic location, right on the lake. There were a few suggestions to the owner we made from our last stay and they did take care of them. One was how dark the shower was but they did put a tap light, although it could use a brighter one. Owner is great to deal with and is very responsive. Well worth it to have a relaxing time sitting by the lake sipping Door County wine.
